In-Market Activity

Following meetings with energy access practitioners, government departments, and civil society organizations, Power for All has been working with ministerial officials to launch Sierra Leone’s upcoming Energy Revolution event (8–15 March). We are proud to be a part of this important occasion:

All 149 Paramount Chiefs will be attending

The Government of Sierra Leone will set an ambitious goal for off-grid electrification, and take immediate steps to introduce a blanket VAT/tariff exemption for quality products

There will be a marketplace for companies wishing to showcase their products and services to key decision-makers

To promote distributed renewables, a number of partnerships between the private sector and Paramount Chiefs will be announced

The event will prove be an important opportunity to bring stakeholders together to better understand the barriers facing household solar and mini-grids, and discuss how these might be removed

The team has also been building partnerships to support the acceleration of decentralized renewables in Nigeria and Zimbabwe, and helped Rwanda’s Energy Private Developer’s (EPD) group jump-start critical feedback on the country's draft Rural Electrification Strategy.

Power for All were joined by colleagues from the Global Off-Grid Lighting Association (GOGLA) on a scoping visit to India and are supporting GOGLA and the Alliance for Rural Electrification in a National Renewable Energy Association workshop in Nairobi this week.
